Most Recent Note for AE - 3/27/2012 12:11:37 PM
Hitting another new 52-week high today, adding to its recent spurt of volume-driven gains. It has the look of a "climax run" and is very extended from any sound base pattern. Fundamentals remain a concern, as was the case when this thinly-traded AMEX listed stock was noted in the 6/23/08 mid-day report - "Questionable annual earnings history (the A criteria) but recent quarterly comparisons show better sales revenues and earnings increases."

The 2 latest quarterly comparisons (Sep and Dec '11) showed big sales revenues and earnings increases over the year-ago periods. The prior quarterly and annual earnings history is not a match with the fact-based investment system's fundamental guidelines. Technically, today's gain has it rallying from a "double bottom" base and challenging its 52-week high.

Holding its ground since a gap up on 3/21/12 for a considerable volume-driven gain and a new 52-week high on news it will acquire Apex Systems. Prior mid-day reports repeatedly noted - "Rising clear of all resistance due to overhead supply. Strong sales revenues and earnings increases versus the year earlier periods in recent quarterly comparisons (through Dec '11) satisfy the C criteria. Its annual earnings (A criteria) growth has not been strong and steady, so it is fundamentally below guidelines of the fact-based investment system."

Volume-driven gains helped it clear a 22-week cup shaped base. Some resistance remains due to overhead supply while today it is rallying within -8.2% of its all-time high with a 5th consecutive gain. Fundamentals remain very good concerning the C & A criteria as it has maintained a strong quarterly sales revenues and earnings growth history and has a great annual earnings track record. It was last noted on 8/06/11 when it was dropped from the Featured Stocks list and it subsequently went through a deep consolidation below its 200 DMA line before rebounding.

Found support above its 50 DMA line and near prior highs then rallied to new 52-week and all-time highs, showing mostly bullish action since its big gap up gain on 2/03/12, but it did not form a sound base pattern. Noted in prior mid-day reports - "Quarterly and annual earnings history has been strong and satisfies the C & A criteria, however the 3 recent quarters' earnings increases, sequentially, decelerated to the minimum +25% level in the Dec '11 comparison. Rebounded from a deep consolidation below its 200 DMA line since noted 8/05/11 - 'Based on weak action it will be dropped from the Featured Stocks list tonight.'"

Small gap down today with higher volume. Recently getting more extended from a sound base while prior mid-day reports noted - "Reported earnings +38% on +20% sales revenues for the quarter ended January 31, 2012 versus the year ago period, showing encouraging acceleration in sequential quarterly sales and earnings increases. Its fundamentals (C & A criteria) are now resembling past great winners, and patient investors may watch for secondary buy points to possibly develop and be noted. Gapped up today and hit a new all-time high with another volume-driven gain. Secondary Offerings were completed on 9/08/11 and on 12/07/11. Its 50 DMA line acted as a support level throughout its ongoing advance, however it is too extended from any sound base pattern to meet the fact-based system's technical guidelines for buy candidates.

Up again today following a gap up gain with above average volume for new 52-week and all-time high on the prior session, clearing all resistance. Found support above its 50 DMA line during its orderly consolidation since noted in the 2/22/12 mid-day report - "It has earned high ranks however its earnings history is not a good match with the fact-based system's guidelines. Went through a long consolidation and slumped below its 200 DMA line from the old high which was hit when noted in the 12/07/10 mid-day report - 'Extended from prior chart highs in the $25-26 area. It rallied from an inverse-head-and-shoulders type pattern since finding support at its 200 DMA following the previously noted 'breakaway gap' on 4/27/10. Leadership in the Auto/Truck - Replacement Parts group (L criteria) is a reassuring sign. The C criteria is satisfied as recent quarterly comparisons show earnings increases above the +25% guideline on +15%-20% better sales versus the year ago period. Its up and down annual earnings history (A criteria) is a concern.'"

Its annual earnings (A criteria) history has not been strong and steady, so it is fundamentally below guidelines of the fact-based investment system.

Its 2 latest quarterly comparisons through Dec '11 showed big earnings improvement, but its prior earnings comparisons were negative, not meeting the fact-based investment system's guidelines. Increasing ownership by top-rated funds is a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria, rising from 243 funds in Mar '11 to 445 funds in Dec '11.

No overhead supply remains to hinder its progress, and it stubbornly held its ground and rallied since its 10/07/10 mid-day report appearance. Recent comparisons (Jun, Sep, Dec) show improving sales revenues and earnings with encouraging acceleration.

Hitting a new 52-week high today with a 3rd consecutive gain. Found support at its 50 DMA line recently and wedged to new 52-week highs without great volume conviction behind its small gains. Prior mid-day reports noted - "The Sep and Dec '11 quarterly comparisons showed improving sales revenues and earnings increases. Prior quarterly comparisons showed sub par results and its annual earnings (A criteria) history has not been strong and steady."
